The Nationalw. @. II. u. Con-
vention, Nashville. Tenn.
Nov. 10th to 2Ist,

For the first time in the history Of
this organization, the annual Conven~
tion will be held 10 a Southern city.
We look for great good to come from
this intermingliug of North0rn and
Western women with those of our own
section. Many of the women who will
attend this Convention were never
South before, and the things which will
be revealed to them Of Southern life
and hospitality will more than corrobo-
rate the friendly ideas they already have
OF us. A common danger and com
mon foe have cemsnted the hearts of the
women ofthis nation.
The liquor traffic has made mutual
grief over which has been thrown mu,
tual bond of sympathy, making sis
terhood ofinterest. We doubt whether
the women Of the North and the wo-
men of the South would ever have
joined hands and hearts over the
bloody chasm Of the cruel war, had not
the woe of the liquor traffic made a
sorrow too deep and overwhelming for
The presence ofa lingering hate.
The tragic reign of this fearful
traffic in our country, has driven the
women together; having met in solid
rank against the enemy, love has
sprung up between them and very
sacredly tender seems the comrade-
ship.
We could not compute the good In
divers ways which will come from this
Convention The advance made by it
against the traffic in formulating waves
of public sentiment will be immense.
Wherever these Conventions have been
held in the past, great fires Of enthusi-
asm have been set blazing, whose glow
and warmth are still clearly seen and
keenly fegt
All loveGs of home should pray es-
pecially that this particular Convention
will touch the whole South powerfully
ktasa ~, snaar3s3slg At this sgonse1ticn
will be seen some Of the noblest Wo-
men of America, women who are world
famous in the field Of letters. philan.
thropy and religion.
Every department, of which there
are forty-nins, will be fully discussed
by the national officers. Rare expert
ence, thrilling and inspiring will be
given by them concerning the work
since the last annual report.
The chief attraction of the Conven.
lion will be the peerless Miss Willard.
Tosee her, to hear her is to get feeling
of exultation over what woman can
be, and can do. She is the perfect type
of the ideal woman made a loving
reality,
We hope as many of our Mississippi
w. c. I. U. as can. will attend the Con.
vention. If you are going, send your
name at once to Mrs. Garner, then you
will secure reduced railroad fare and a
home in Nashville for the Convention
days.

IF the people who favor prohibition
would enter upon determined and Wig
orous crusade against the Infamous and
odious system of convict leased labor
they would be sure of the cooperation
of many leading Republicans as well as
Democrats. The people of the South
are tired of being classed with savages
simply to satisfy the unappeasable greed
and cupidity of men who willingly
trample upon all human right in order
to make few dollars.-Memphis Ap-
peal.
We endorse the sentiments of the
above paragraph, but are astonished at
the ignorance displayed in it. The Ap-
peal aught to know that there is not a
prohibition paper in Mississippi that is
not bitterly opposed to this bloody leas-
ing system It ought to know that his
opposition to the leasing system was one
of the many combining causes that led
to the assassination of the prohibition
editor, R, D. Gambrell, by the chief Of
the lessees. 1t ought to know that no
papers in Mississippi have done half as
much against this system as the Brook
haUen Leader, the Net0 Mississippiiaa,
SWORD AND SHIELD, and KoSciuSlo Star,
the leading prohibition papers of the
State. It further ought to know that
the State w. G. 7. U. opposes this sys,
tenn, and even is now securing names to
petition to the legislature requesting
it to abolish the same. Finally the Aps
peal ought to know that moral reforms
like grapes grow in clusters" and
hence it ought to attack the saloon
which is as bloody and hideous as the
leasing system itself.
